The next Clean & Green initiative will assist Friends of the Parks, The Tri-State Watershed Alliance and The City of Fort Wayne for their event "Revealing Our Rivers" where we will be cleaning up the St. Mary's River. We will stage our initiative from the Headwaters Parking Lot at the southeast corner of the Harrison Street Bridge from 8 a.m. - Noon. This is a family-friendly initiative with opportunities for participation at all levels. Gloves and other equipment will be provided but participants are welcome to bring their own equipment. If you haven't joined Clean & Green yet, this is the perfect opportunity to help clean up downtown while making new friendships and enjoying the spring weather. We hope to see you there!
